Liz makes a lace scarf

Awhile back, I saw this lace scarf on A Beautiful Mess. I wanted to make it right away, but had no lace. I put it on the back burner and eventually forgot about it.. That is, until my sister gave me that wedding dress I talked about the other day. There is so much lace on that thing! I remembered the lace scarf and knew I had to try it. It didn't turn out exactly how I pictured it in my mind, and looks almost nothing like the girls' on A Beautiful Mess, but it only took a few things and a little amount of time. Here's how I did it:

You'll need about 2 1/2 yards x 1 foot of some lace fabric. (Make sure it's not stiff. Mine was a little stiff, and I think that's why it doesn't sit as well.) You'll also need an embroidery needle, scissors and some white thread.

Sew each side (by hand, obviously) by stitching 2" away from one of the sides every 1/2 inch or so. Secure the end with a knot, and then make sure your ruffles are as big as you want them to be before you secure the beginning knot. Do this exactly the same on the other side. There should be about 8 inches or so between your two sewn lines.

You're finished! Now hang it around your neck and strut your stuff. 

Have a great Thursday everybody!

Love, Liz
